>From what I heard they were looking to get rid of STR, and continue use STS
as a recruitment tool for people who would otherwise have to be
uncompetitive in the SP classes.
If you look at the national entries it appears they're only running Street
Touring S, which implies everyone will have to use the less grippy tires.
I personally think STS/R is a great class, since it allows my car to have a
better suspension than the stock version but still to be reasonably
competitive. Otherwise I'd have to go out and buy a car especially for
auto-x.

Subject: Re: Street Tire Class
you dont get any credit in the PAX between dot r-tires and street tires.
actually dot r-tires ARE street tires, technically. the MOD (and prepared)
classes that run slicks do have some sort of accommodation for the
difference in those tires.
the only one i never understood was the ST classes... one for street tires
and one for r-tires?
